I try to keep the following queries and advice in mind as I work: --> Working on wikis
 * Is it the truth?
 * Is it fair to all concerned?
 * Will it build goodwill and better relationships?
 * Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

--> Working with others on a wiki
 * Do I approach others with respect and concern?
 * Am I concerned with community and its needs?
 * Am I an agent for tolerance and acceptance?
 * Can I forgive others easily?
 * Is there harmony between what I believe and how I act?

--> Working through conflict
 * Be open and warmly welcoming, not insular,
 * Be focused singlemindedly on writing, not on debate,
 * Recognize and praise the best work, work that is detailed, factual, well-informed, and well-referenced,


 * Treat your fellow productive, well-meaning contributors with respect and good will,
 * Attract and honor good people who know a lot and can write about it well, and
 * Show the door to Internet trolls, vandals wiki-anarchists, who if permitted would waste your time and create a poisonous atmosphere.


 * Make others feel welcome (even longtime participants; even those you dislike)
 * Create and continue a friendly environment
 * Turn the other cheek (which includes walking away from potential edit wars)
 * Give praise, especially to those you don't know (most people like to know they are wanted and appreciated)
 * Forgive
